Once again, this time in London, like in other EU cities in the past, terrorists have struck. They killed a soldier haphazardly "because he had served in Afghanistan" ? Or had they identified their target and were laying in wait to kill him ?
The death penalty, or Capital Punishment, was finally abolished totally in Britain in December 1969. Since then Terrorists, whether they are linked to organizations like Al Qaida or ETA etc, whether they act indepently for other objectives, cannot face a sentence of Capital Punishment !
Why was Capital Punishment Abolished ? Was it because of the advances of Human Rights Culture, or to be specific the "Human Rights Act" ?
Politicians must understand that Laws must be updated, not only for economic reasons but also for "Human Rights" reasons! Society changes and terrorism has also changed !
If David Cameron now feels that he wants to change the laws in Britain, to reintroduce the rules that pervaded more than 50 years ago, when killing a policeman merited the Death Penalty, then he must put this on his Agenda of points to be raised at the next meeting of the EU Council of Ministers.
If no one acts, nothing will ever change !
How can you justify the protection of Terrorists at the expense of normal law abiding citizens ?
